Techno Harms: Discrimination, Conspiracy Theories and Extremism
This module introduces you to the concept of ‘techno-harms’ from the disciplines of sociology, criminology, and social policy, with a particular focus on zemiology, to investigate the infliction and perpetuation of technologically induced social harms. The module will enable you to think critically about the ways in which racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, Anti-Gender politics, environmentalism, extremism, conspiracy theories, human trafficking, and border control manifest in cyberspace and how technologies can help accelerate and prevent the subsequent harms. -

Technoharms
In this module you will examine the intersection of AI with technologically induced harms ‘techno harms’ such as extremism, discrimination, and mis and disinformation in the context of international criminal justice. You will explore AI’s dual role in both causing and combating these harms, as well as its potential for predicting future threats. Drawing from multiple disciplines, the module equips you with the tools to critically analyse AI’s impact on online harms and its use in prevention and mitigation strategies. Understanding AI-enabled cyber harms helps in developing effective countermeasures and policies, while also raising important ethical questions about surveillance, privacy, and civil liberties. -

Technological Innovation
Technological innovation is increasingly recognised as one of the most important sources of sustainable competitive advantage for businesses around the world. However, building an organization which can successfully and repeatedly create technological innovation for markets is a daunting managerial challenge, with many businesses failing to deliver. This module looks at the practices and processes of successful technological innovation management. This module will be of interest to students seeking to develop their own business, or who plan on working in dynamic, technology-driven businesses.
Over the duration of the module, five main aspects will be covered: the general aspects of technological innovation, the process of diffusion of innovation, strategies to effectively protect technological innovations, barriers to innovation activity and innovation failure. The focus will be on new and established companies, in addition to firms that have been successful and unsuccessful in the introduction and diffusion of new technological innovations. -

Technology Fundamentals for Sustainable Energy
Providing clean, secure and sustainable energy is one of the greatest engineering challenges of the twenty-first century. This module explores the scientific principles and engineering technologies that underpin the transition to low-carbon energy systems, developing the knowledge needed to evaluate future energy solutions.
You will investigate global energy resources, patterns of energy demand and the technologies used for sustainable power generation, developing a broad understanding of how engineering can support the transition to a more sustainable future. Through analytical problem-solving and engineering modelling, you will explore the physical principles that govern energy conversion while considering the technical, environmental and societal challenges associated with modern energy systems. Throughout the module, emphasis is placed on developing engineering judgement through the application of fundamental theory to real-world energy problems.
By the end of the module, you will be able to evaluate sustainable energy technologies using sound engineering principles, preparing you to contribute to the design and development of future energy systems.
